    Have a Hassy, Mammy, and a holga, but it's all about the 4x5 for me at the moment :)

    Film wise, usually, Ilford stock, or Fuji slide film.

    Yea I'm trying silde at the moment... took some shots yesterday so i hope they turn out... 120 is great ... Have you ever scanned it...? I think i will maybe up the resolution and hope the colours are balanced well....
    I'm trying Provia and reala... i only really like pro film..

    shoot fuiji velvia 6x12,6x17 & 6x24
    processing by metro colour lab in uk
    more dificult & more hassle than digital but can be better imo
    scanning on an epson 4990 I usually aim for atleast 100 to 500 mega pixel :)

    I use a Mamiya RZ67 and a Mamiya 7 rangefinder. Ilford Panf is my slow film and Kodak Tri-X is my fast film. I also use a lot of Infrared Efke & Rollei films.

    i'd love to try medium format, but my scanner (which currently doesn't work at all) only takes 35mm

    Hasselblad 500C/M and 500EL/M

    Kodak Tri-X in 120 and 220 would be my most used film. I've tried most of them over the years and using a bit of Ilford PanF and Fuji Acros lately.

    Mamiya 645 Pro and Holga, for short period Bronica, too. For BW I use Ilford delta 100 and fuji acros (100 as well), when I need more speed i either push acros or use ilford hp5. For colour neg i really like fuji reala, and for slides only velvia... :)

    i'm using a yashica mat 124g and a rolleiflex. as well, an old kodak brownie and zero image pinhole, all 120 film. almost all black and white, ilford, fuji, kodak film. process the film myself, then scan the negatives....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,713 ✭✭✭DaireQuinlan


    Yashica Mat 124G, Bronica SQai, a brace of old kodak folders and box cameras ...

    Mostly Ilford/kodak for B&W , developed at home. Kodak for color negative, Fuji for transparencies. Just got the bronica recently so still haven't gotten comfortable with it yet. Decided on it after a long and agonizing choice between it and a mamiya RB/RZ ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,744 ✭✭✭deRanged


    I use xp2 b&w in my holga. I will eventually get a bronica.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,398 ✭✭✭Phototoxin


    I've done 120 illford xp2 and processed it myself in B&W chemistry... I was using an agfa clack though with a semi-busted shutter and no lightmeter XD

    am always on the lookout for a cheap medium format tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,852 ✭✭✭Hugh_C


    I'm new to medium format, love it, particularly composing in square. Currently using velvia 100, ilford xp2 and TMax100. xp2 doesn't give as good a tonal range imho.

    Using a Rolleicord V picked up cheaply on eBay.

    See the results here.

    I develop only in repro 35 or Gunn's and then borrow a scanner, saving up for my own.
